Well, hello there!

I am here... still making cards! I made a few cards for customers/friends/family that I have yet to post and a whopping 150 Christmas cards I made for the holidays!

I doubt that I will post all of them or even any of them. Too much work!

Hmm...but maybe I can select a few to showcase what I have made.

I haven't done anything too crazy with my card business. But I have some plans this year.

I am thinking of possibly registering for this years' Christmas fair to sell my cards. I sold some over the holidays but not as much as I was hoping. You see... I was invited to take part in a local Christmas fair but declined because I wanted my coworkers to have a huge selection to choose from. Unfortunately, our company laid off about 40 people and most of them were my customers! By then, it was too late to register for the fair... AND I was told that my cards would have done great especially at the price of $4 each or Buy 3 for $10. I know it's not that cheap but hey, they are handmade and original! There are some people who would pay $$$ for cards and darn it, they were either laid off or at the fair! Ha.

By the way, joking aside... it was really sad when the company laid off my friends, including my mom! Mom is doing great though. The company was very generous and gave everybody a great package but still, working here is not the same. I don't know what's going to happen with me. I'm still here but the future is unknown. I can't really do anything about it but just do my best. I don't want to find another job because I love what I am doing... but when the time comes, I will be okay.

And I want to continue working on my cards. It's like therapy. And it makes me happy!

Anyway... moving along.

I definitely need to market my cards. Ideally, I would like to start a website just so it will be easier for people to view the cards or but I need to come up with a brand and stick to it. I originally named my brand 'extra onions' but I don't think it's catchy enough and frankly, I grew tired of it. I would also like to buy a stamp with my logo so that I can start personalizing my cards... but that means I have to come up with a name. I have a few ideas but I want to step back and look at them another time before making the final decision.

I would like to start posting my cards again. I have a couple of orders on the go.. a wedding card and a baby card so you will see them soon!
